The Animal Rescue Foundation of Bartlesville will host its Eighth Annual Paws in the Park fundraising event from noon to 3 p.m. May 3 (weather permitting). This year’s on-leash event will be held at ARF Park, located on Highway 60 across from the Bartlesville Industrial Park.

All proceeds are dedicated to phase II construction of ARF’s new rescue/adoption sanctuary currently located adjacent to the dog park.

The event will feature a Jack Russell Terrier Racing Exhibition with entertaining races. Find out what pets are thinking from ARF’s returning special guest, pet communicator Pam Gutgsell Case (call ARF to reserve a time).

Festivities will also include a new "Fabulous Fido" contest for a $10 entry fee where contestants will compete in four areas — smile, talent, bathing beauty and answering a question from Case.

Nail trims will be available for donation and Arvest Grill Masters will provide hot dogs. Dogs can enjoy agility equipment and splash pads.

Registration is $20 per dog or two dogs for $30 which includes an event T-shirt for those who register by Monday. Registration forms are available at www.arfok.org, at ARF’s facility or at the event. Late registrations will not be guaranteed a T-shirt, but will receive an alternate item and doggie bag of goodies.

Guests are welcome to stay and enjoy the park with dogs off leash after 3 p.m. For more information, call ARF at 918-766-0991.
